You are getting closer to 6 million. Break a leg!😉
And when you reach there, Jolly good Show!
As a native speaker of American English, I find it very interesting to see the differences between American English and British English. “good on you” is something an American would never say. Whereas “good for you” is something an American would often say. An American would say “well done”, but never say “well done you.” I don’t think an American would say “good show” or “Jolly good show”, which sounds extremely British to me. it’s very interesting to see the small differences. I love your videos. You have a delightful air about you and you’re an excellent teacher. By the way, “go get ‘em, tiger” is extremely informal and playful in American English. Once again, thanks for the wonderful videos.
A few special alternatives to congratulations:
"You never cease to amaze!"
"They're going to tell stories about this one!"
"That right there is why you're the best!"
"That was exceptional!"
Amazing is enough
My prayers for you, As you wallk your road this day, may each moment be blessed with the brightness of His glory, the goodness of His love, the beauty of His peace and the presence of His hope. May God Bless You. Amen.💕
Amen!!!
I’m an atheist 😂

Hello
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
"Fingers crossed!" - We use to say in Germany: "Drück dir die Daumen!" - It means: "I press my thumb for you!"
I think it's slightly different but it's similar
In German we say “Ich drücke dir die Daumen“ instead of „Fingers crossed“, which means “Pressing my thumbs down for you”
We have the same in Polish ,,Trzymam Kciuki"
I'm a Mexican ballet dancer. Once I made a ballet certification in the Royal Academy of Dance in London and that's where I heard "Break your leg" so many times, before you go on stage.
Hi, we've also got in Poland: Hats off, Break a leg and something similar to : Fingers crossed, but we use "thumbs" instead of fingers. 🥰
Same in german: Daumen drücken (Pressing the thumbs)
Thanks a lot Lucy 'Cause I love using phrases
I just love the way you use your humour parts when teaching 👍😁
Dear Lucy, when I'm watching your videos I tend to smile and you give me positive vibes. You are SENSATIONAL! 💕💕💕
You are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the inspiration. As for the little quirks in German, you wouldn't keep your fingers crossed, but "press your thumbs" - not against each other, but each one individually against the side of the index finger. You may shake one or both fists along with that. You would pat someone on the back when they have choked and pat them on the shoulder when they have done something particularly well.
Good one lucy.
Queen of elevated English language ❤️
Go get 'em tiger 😁❤❤
Checking out the earrings! Always curious what you will be wearing. Are those sweets.? Thank you for today’s lesson, Lucy!:)
ahahah they are little goldfish in bags! I found them so hilarious that I HAD to buy them!
You can find it at amazon. I find it from online store at my country
Ahahahahahahah! I would never have guessed it! That is so funny! 🤣 I hope you can show us up close....if you haven’t done so before.
I love this kind of lessons. It is really boring to use the same words all the time. Thank you. ❤️❤️ Have a great day Lucy
I really love the effects for this video. It blew me away!👏🏼👏🏼
My vocabulary has really really improved because of you! Thank you!!❤❤
Hello Lucy,
This is Roly Castelliny from Cuba.
First of all, I love your lessons, I've improved my vocabulary so far, and even my understanding when hearing British language (which I prefer, it's like music to my ears)
It is funny but I also enjoy your intro so much, don't ever change it please hahaha.
I want it to thank you for your videos and your interest on spreading your knowledge to us, in order to improve our english skills. I'm thankful!!!!
Wish you well and all the best of the world!
In German we have the same phrase but we wish them more broken bones. We say “Hals- und Beinbruch!”, which means “Break the neck and a leg.”
I was going to say the same hahah
In Czech we use the phrase "zlom vaz" with means " break a ligament"🤣
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
There is a nice and exquisite synonym to "congratulations" - felicitations.
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
I just love British accent as in Bangladesh people use American accent more and your videos helped me a lot to improve my English and sound a lot like Brits🙈
Thank you so much Lucy and you're so fun personality,I mean at the beginning I used to watch your videos just to see you talking♥
Because of u now I speak fluent English thank u so much Lucy 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗
"Hello everyone and welcome back To english with lucy "😍
Bise from France Lucy😄
Yes, "fingers crossed" is the same in Italian. We literally say "incrociamo le dita". Such a great video, you're always the best!
I am blown away by your teaching videos😊
Everytime I just try to sound like you,your voice is now imprisoned in my mind .
I use my favorite "way to go (girl)!" to myself at least 10 times in a day😄😄
Most needed alternatives...Thanks Lucy❤
Wow Lucy. Thanks so much for the lesson.
"little quirks of all languages" it's great to know english phrasals that clarify your way, blown me away your ways to speak but not meant to explode me something haha great.
Big thanks, Lucy, this is really amazing way of teaching! All the best!!!
Hey Lucy! As always, great lesson, thank you so much ❤❤❤ Hope you're doing well ❤❤
Love it!! keep it up Lucy
Very clear voice. Interesting teaching. I'm listening.
NICE LECTURE U DELIVER RESPECTFUL LUCY AM DR. SYED ASIF ALI FROM LAHORE PAKISTAN AM YOUR REGULAR VIEWER GOD BLESS U RESPECTFUL LUCY.
This is the earliest video of yours I have ever watched, I am so happy
czcams.com/video/lkr8TGEgal0/video.html
Hi Lucy, I'm your internet student on CZcams, from Indonesia, I love to learn British English it's because of you, how you can speak properly that I can understand. I already see your video maybe 2 years ago I think and I subscribe to you maybe 1-year ago😅. I just want to thank you so much, that I can learn many many words in British even I don't see your video, I hear some podcast surprisingly I understand that I hope you want to make some podcast in the future (?). Anyway, I hope you have a great day with your husband Will, have a long-lasting relationship, Amen.❤
Thanks, Lucy!
I've heard lots of "You're a star" around London as well. Basically it's the same as "You rock"
May be I've been watching your videos for 15 days continuously & now I can understand over 80% words easily, alhamdulillah (praise of the almighty Allah).So I'm much happy. By the way I'm a Bangladeshi. Do you know our country?.
I love when you send the lesson (PDF) there's a quiz in it. Thanks a lot, Lucy🥰
Good afternoon
I love your all videos
Today is 8 March I wish you all the best
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much Lucy
I love the koreans when they say whiting (fighting) in stead of good luck. U r beutiful♥
Thank you Lucy for another great and funny lesson! Fingers crossed in Portuguese: "Cruza os dedos!", said in an imperative way. We in Brazil also use it when we want to support someone in an activity they are going to perform.
Thanks a lot, dear Lucy for this new lesson here!
That one definitely contains really useful phrases!
You're most welcome 😊
@@EnglishwithLucy

The last one ☝️ was my favourite 🤓😂
Thank you Lucy!
4:04 in Polish we call it ,,Trzymam kciuki" and it literally means ,,I hold my thombs" hahah :)
Hi Lucy, I've heard a slightly different story behind "Break a leg", I wonder if anyone can confirm: "Break a leg!" was wished to the actors who were going to audition for a role. Which meant they would end up in the "Cast".
Stunning lady with great charisma!
Hola Lucy...Numba 20 was hilarious 😂 🤣😂🤣😂
_"Croisons les doigts"_ , which in French literally means _"let's cross fingers"._
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
I have been blown away by your presentation.
Very helpful videos all the best my favourite teacher Lucy mam I'm Bangladeshi now in DUBAI UAE.
Congrats Lucy, you're on fire 🔛🔥
Love from India 💕💞💖🙏🇮🇳🚩
I really wish there were a Lucy equivalent for the German language! These lessons together with the vlogs are really the best way to learn
Dear Lucy🌹, I am always so happy for you. You are so young and made 'English with Lucy' a popular, well recognised and lovable channel. I am so amazed that you created this marvellous business for yourself in your 20s, fingers crossed, for the rest of your life.
Enhorabuena, Rubia, abrazos desde Hungría 😁👍
In poland, instead of "fingers crossed" we say "trzymam kciuki!" which literally means "i hold my thumbs", we also do a diffrent movement, but intention is the same 🤞
Ich drück dir die Daumen in Germany
I am 13.but I can say, you re the best teacher I ever had in my life.
Thanks my good teacher Lucy. You've changed my perception of grammar and usage.
Whenever I hear your pronouncing WOW IT'S SOO SATISFYING😍 I love the way you speak English but my English is bad but after listening you my English got a lot better, now I'm trying to speak like your slang
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAM😊
In Turkey, we are saying "break evil's leg" it means, change the bad luck.
You're right
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
In some Asian countries, it is considered rude when you have your finger crossed. Culture varies from places to places
Thanks for your support to those who in need of learning
Thank you very much Lucy. it is very useful lesson
Second here✌🏻
I know I'm not yet watched the video
That's what i'm about to do😌✨
Lol
czcams.com/video/ohHXn1ph3Ak/video.html
*Accept my endless gratitude dear ma'am..*
czcams.com/video/lkr8TGEgal0/video.html
Fingers crossed is used for stopping friendship (for not serious condition, After negotiating, friendship can start again) in my country. Thanks my pretty teacher Lucy.
I am studying English with lucy since 2019 .. I really enjoyed her lesson
In Poland we say: "Trzymam kciuki" which means I keep my thumbs. We usually don't keep our fingers crossed, but keep our thumbs. It's like showing your thumbs up and then tucking them into the whole.
Hey , would you like to practice speaking english with me?

czcams.com/video/lkr8TGEgal0/video.html
Fingers crossed! in Spanish would be “¡crucemos los dedos!” 🤞🏼
Just commenting to help get Lucy closer to 6 million subscribers!
Hi Lucy, „fingers crossed“ in German is:“Daumen drücken“, which means „pressing thumbs“.Thanks so much for your wonderful lessons, they also help my children during this terrible homeschooling situation!I always want them to acquire your beautiful accent.Greetings from Germany and „all the best“😉,Kerstin
In Estonian we also say instead of 'good luck!':
- nail to the tire! (similar to break a leg)
- a stone in your bag! (similar to break a leg)
- wind to your wings (as in fly high, good luck)
- holding my thumb (as in tucking your thumb in your fist brings good luck)
- When someone is having a test or an exam, we say 'happy flunking!!" (again wishing bad luck for good luck)
(Edit) With congratulating (well, with everything, really) we use a much more toned down choice of words than you'd use in English. 'Sensational' or 'you're a genius' are something one would use in rare cases when something is actually absolutely phenomenal. It could also be used by someone on a more casual incident if that person is very high energy and bubbly as a person in general.
The same toned down vocabulary (in comparison to English) is used in other aspects, too. I remember reading an article about translation fails from Estonian to English where the translator had not considered the difference between the two languages. I think it was an Estonian airplane company or a travelling agency that used a slogan "A Good Flying experience" (or something like that), which in Estonian means that it's a great service but an English speaker might think ...eh? just good? In that case it would have been better to translate it to "An Excellent Flying experience" or something similar to really emphasize the quality of the service.

I think aunt(your mother) is quite good in English and she is inspirational for you and even us also.
Please let her meet with us on channel.😇

I was blown away for your pronunciation.
Hi. Lucy, I came from Beijing, now in Australia for 25 years on. I leant English from a teenager starting from International Phonetic Alphabet. This is said the " standard " English pronounciation. Very close to British accent. In Chinese languiage, the standard or official spoken Chinese languiage is Mandarin, while Beijing accent is one of dialects but very close to Mandarin. I sometimes come across British English speaking people. I feel a bit hard to understand them because their English is not standard. But your British English sounds a standard English that I leant from start. Therefore I understand every and each of your word!
You know what??? Some unused answers may cause an awkward situations,, it happened once for me as a friend said to me : thank you, I answered : don't mention it,, it was like a backfire on me 😂😂😂
Go get em tiger,seen horror .
I was even scared when lucy roar like a tiger.
I love the way you always refer to your patents in your speeches
Hey Lucy !
Kudos on all the CZcams Videos you've posted on English with Lucy 🎉
